The New Orleans Pelicans lost to the Utah Jazz, 79-72, in the second game of the 2016 Las Vegas Summer League schedule. The Pelicans remain winless, but Buddy Hield finally resembled the player that walked away with the most recent Naismith Player of the Year award. He finished with a line of 21 points, 5 threes, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Hield was mired in another poor shooting slump, connecting on just 3 of 13 from the floor and 1 of 7 from beyond the arc.
